Chanhassen City Council - June 14, 2010
Mayor Furlong: That’s the actual staff report. Well why don’t we talk about that quickly, 1(f).
The actual staff report shows three recommended resolutions from the City. One, adopting the
street reconstruction plan and approving general issuance of general obligation bonds. The
second would be a resolution authorizing a fund transfer to the EDA for the bond sale. And the
third being a resolution providing for the issuance and sale of the general obligation temporary
street reconstruction bonds.
Greg Sticha: Yeah.
Mayor Furlong: Those would be the three items, that’s in the staff report so that’s what.
Greg Sticha: That’s right.
Todd Gerhardt: The agenda doesn’t coincide with the recommendation but the motion would be
to adopt the motion in the staff report.
Mayor Furlong: So those would be the three items.

items 1(a) through (h) excluding (e).

PUBLIC HEARING: MEDICAL ARTS PARKING LOT REHABILITATION
PROJECCT 10-05.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: Yes Mr. Mayor. On this particular issue I may have somewhat of a
vested interest since I rent property over there so I would like to recuse myself from any further
discussions. I’ll just go outside and when you’re ready I’ll come back.
Mayor Furlong: Alright, thanks. Or just join us in the audience if you’d like. That’d be fine.
Let’s move then to a staff report on this matter.
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. I’d like to just give a brief presentation
on the proposed improvements at the Medical Arts and Colonial Square parking lot. The project
is located in the downtown of Chanhassen and incorporates the Medical Arts buildings here as
th
shown along 78 Street, Axel’s restaurant and then also the Colonial Square building as well.
Parking facilities down there. So the existing conditions are shown here. The property owners
have requested that the parking lot at these facilities be upgraded, improved at this time in
conjunction with the Medical Arts building. The Colonial Square owner also has requested that
these parking lots for their facility also be upgraded at this time as well as the Medical Arts
parking lot. The City owns and has maintained the parking lot up into this point. The parking
lot is over 20 years old and is in need of repair. We do survey the parking lot every 3 years and
the paving condition index that we obtained 2 years ago is at 50 which is about half the life
expectancy of the parking lot so, if you consider 100 score being a brand new parking lot. So
there is an agreement between Medical Arts facilities, Axel’s for the City to maintain those
parking lots and any improvement cost associated with the improvements to the parking lot
